FEAR OFTEN LEADS TO ENJOYMENT Rifat
Khan
“I’m never listening to y’all again,” I said while losing my breath, trying to get a word out. While everyone laughed, I started enjoying the moment. I realized it wasn’t that bad and I was exaggerating it all. We were all there. It was me, my brother, his girlfriend, my uncle, my aunt, her husband, and her two little kids. We took a trip to Orlando to have fun. It was early morning and the sun was beaming. We all wore shorts and t-shirts. My outfit was nice that day. I had on some orange shorts with a white tee and an orange bucket hat with a yellow smiley face in the middle. To end the outfit off, I wore Adidas Human Races with yellow and orange laces. Nobody that day could compare to what I was wearing. I was comfortable, and I was looking nice. When the day started my brother’s girlfriend asked excitedly, “RIFAT, you ready to do this?!” “Yeah, of course I am,” I replied anxiously. Adding to the conversation my brother said, “Rifat not getting on anything today. He be scared.” “Well we all know you not going on the rides being that short,” I said. Everybody started laughing. “Ok, come on we gotta go now,” my Aunt Ruma said, turning serious. When we arrived at the place, we were stressed over getting in. The long lines to enter the parking lot were even bad. So, finally, we parked and went in. The lines were even longer. I almost got lost with my uncle because we went to the bathroom and everybody left us. At this point, I was ready to finally go in. But, with our luck, people got stopped by security, so the line was 331
